Brothers and Sisters, on average, every rider must have experienced a punctured tire. The question here is what method is suitable to be used to deal with these tires?

From the observations of Joko Suseno, Marketing Head Division of Kingland Tire, there are three types of filling methods that are common for tubeless and can be applied today. What are some? The following types are referred to along with the pluses and minuses of using tubeless tire patches.

First, String plug (worm). Plus the most compact, because there is no need to remove the tire and the process is fast. Many are found in every corner of the tire patch. The disadvantage is not measurable strength. And in the process it must be ensured that the damage to the thread is not maximized because of the puncture.

Second, Patch / tip top (paste system from the inside). Plus it is able to withstand air pressure well from the inside. Strong enough. But the drawback is the process of opening the tires (maybe for some consumers it feels long). The outside can still enter the liquid. Which may damage the thread (over a long period of time).

“Third, Patch and String. This patch is shaped like a mushroom. Pluses: quite strong, and the outside is also covered. The minus: the tire process is opened. And the most expensive. And maybe not much to find. Except at car tire outlets. Basically, of course as a manufacturer. Tires that have been damaged should be replaced with new ones,” said Joko Suseno, this friendly man.

However, if improvements are made, it is necessary to understand that there will be differences in performance from before. And need to know too. Not all leaky positions can be patched or should not be patched. If there is a tear or leak in the tire wall, it is highly recommended to replace it with a new one.

Stay alert on the road. Prioritize safety not speed. Be a pioneer in safe traffic.
